I like the side stripe. 
Reflective black vinyl would really pop.
I had reflective black C-stripes on my True Blue 2001 Bullitt and loved them. That blue shifted in shade a lot depending on lighting, so the stripes would disappear at some angles, they would show black against the blue at others, and then the reflection would show at others (and, obviously, at night in headlights). It was a neat addition, got a lot of compliments at shows and such.

Update. I am now considering driving to Valdosta and having a full Gtrack suspension done similiar to what they race with. It would have all the under body braces, adjustalbe dampeners, springs, tower bracing, sway bars etc.
Better than a PP2 suspension?
Over kill for a car that only has the 4 piston GT brakes, muffler delete, smaller radiator and no power adders?

Movement!
My Cervini Upper and lower Grills shipped today. My suspension changes spiraled out of control as what started with just wanting the car lower to close the wheel gap evolved into a more complete suspension package that would improve performance and work well together and as what started as a few hundred dollars spiraled into a few thousand dollars i reeled it back in.
To that end, the Ford Street Handling performance pack total kit shipped today along with the ford performance strut and cow brace. Basically it will have the full suspension of the PP1 mustang except with the W springs 1 inch lower. The total system was only a few hundred over what just buying an Eibach sway bar and spring kit cost. The PP1 plus w springs will retain that daily driveability comfort but with improved handling and while keeping the factory warranty intact and giving me the look i want. This seemed like the best bang for the buck.
Cevini quarter window scoops are still pending it seems.

Black out deck lid panel.
Suspension kit.
Cervini Grill.
Mach 1 style Grill Emblem.
I installed mach 1 lettering on the black out panel but don't like how it came out...vinyl shop wants $20 to reinstall. They said they would also put the Eleanor style quarter window scoops on for free as well since I am getting a full front bumper paint protection wrap.
Will post when it's all done (going to do all that at once and the scoops are back ordered).

One of my misgivings is always not getting the top tier sound system. Honestly if i could option the car with just the top sound system, lowered suspension, PP2 tires, but with an auto transmission, leather, and nav i would forgo the extra money on brakes, radiator, torsion, driver assists, etc. Jury is out for me personally on if i would have wanted magna ride but i think i may have liked the active exhaust.
Anyway, since i bought a 301A (largely based on just getting a royal crimson) and decided to fix all the missing bits myself here is my solution.
It is a digital audio amplifier and a digital audio LE-M08. The mechanics in this thing basically turn an 8 inch sub into what we traditionally think of as sound from a 10 inch sub.
It doesn't have the extremely low sub bass of a 12 obviously but it has extremely nice distortion free mid to low base that the rivals the best of the factory premium systems and beats most of them.

I am going for a similar theme, but with the Mach 1 Twister in mind. I have many of the parts on hand, just waiting for Ford to deliver my 19 Orange Fury coupe. I have a replica 1970 Mach 1 emblem from CJ PP to replace the trunk emblem, and they have the MRT louvers to match the 70s look. I am also getting the wheels and tires from AM, but I am getting the black Bullitt style wheels for being more authentic to the period.

Awesome. I am actually doin something silly and installing the twister decals on the rear quarters. (Even though it isn't orange).
The twister decals on CJPony parts will install perfectly on rear quarter panel perfectly but they looked like crap soni am having them used as a stencil for some custom made ones.
To help with my wheels not looking as authentic I think I may still add 1 inch spacers to make them look ultra wide.
Still not quite happy with the lettering alignment on my deck lid and no one makes a matching matte black tail light bezel for the 18 and 19s yet.
Also...i still think I need a bigger rear spoiler.
